Simplifying the Citation list

My patrons cannot parse the long list of crowd-sourced citation styles and variations. We need to have that list hidden from them and have the full list accessible from the dashboard so that the librarians can choose which to have displayed to our patrons.

    Hi all - many thanks for the feedback on this, and your votes on this idea.

    @Guest yes you are correct, we pull the citations styles from the CSL open Github repo. This is great feedback and something we've added to our backlog of continuous improvements for the Lean Library extension. We'll keep you updated on this feedback as it progresses in this feedback portal, so make sure you've enabled your notifications from Aha!

    I don't know where list is coming from (https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles???) but is way too long and contains a lot of 'exotic' citation styles. I would like to see only a list of preselected style with the abilitity to name those style in a way that is clear for the user.
